OH and case you forgot Battlestar Gallactica is on tonight. The week I posted about it I laughed because that episode was the least like it is normally. This week's is gonna rock. We get to see into the cylons more. And Sharon and her struggle between being a cylon and what she feels. I am counting the minutes.

I can't wait for tonight's episode...looks so good. And can you believe what happened to the President's aide??? The show just gets better and better.
Have you noticed a paralell between Battlestar Gallactica's war between Cylon and Human and the battle between paganism and Christianity? Except the Cylons would be the Christians of course, they believe in a god while the humans are the pagans believing in the old Greek Mythos.
Oops, I just noticed this on the Official Site trascripts from Sci-Fi Magazine.
"Q: Was the decision to make the Cylons monotheistic and the Colonials polytheistic a conscious choice? If so, was it done to challenge the audience's (at least subconscious) bias in favor of monotheist (Christian/Jewish) faiths by making the "bad guys" have a religion that more closely resembles our own?
Moore: It was a conscious choice I made during the development of the miniseries. I had included a line from Number Six where she said, "God is love," and that became the jumping off point for this entire aspect of the series. The fact that the Colonials already had Greco/Roman names and nomenclature made it a natural for saying that they were polytheistic. I think I realized that the clash of two civilizations with these beliefs would echo our own history as well as be an interesting inversion of the usual Pagan=Bad, Christian=Good dynamic and I thought that would be interesting to play around with."
